Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Accounting Method

Accounting Method

 

The Company’s condensed financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” and No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability is reasonably assured. For the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not report any revenues.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

 

The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260-10 which provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity.  Basic and diluted losses per share were the same at the reporting dates as there were no common stock equivalents outstanding at June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value measurements are determined by the Company's adoption of authoritative guidance issued by the FASB, with the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities, as permitted. Fair value is defined in the authoritative guidance as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

 

  Level 1 – Valuation based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 – Valuation based on, observable inputs (other than level one prices), quoted market prices for similar assets such as at the measurement date; quoted prices in the market that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
     
  Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

 

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.  The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The valuation of the Company’s derivative liability is determined using Level 1 inputs, which consider (i) time value, (ii) current market and (iii) contractual prices.

 

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, notes payable and other payables, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

The following table presents certain investments and liabilities of the Company’s financial assets measured and recorded at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as June 30, 2015:

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Fair value of derivative liability   $ 44,889     $ -     $ -     $ 44,889  

Property and Equipment and Depreciation

Property and Equipment and Depreciation

 

Fixed assets are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Property and equipment, net consist of the following at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

 

    June 30, 2015     December 31, 2014  
Diving vessel   $ 325,000     $ 325,000  
Generator     7,420       7,420  
Less accumulated depreciation     (253,157 )     (236,165 )
    $ 79,263     $ 96,255  

 

Depreciation expense for the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $ 16,992 .

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company, on a regular basis, reviews the carrying amount of long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that suggest impairment. The Company determines if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is impaired based on anticipated undiscounted cash flows, before interest, from the use of the asset. In the event of impairment, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on appraised value of the assets or the anticipated cash flows from the use of the asset, discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. There were no impairment charges recorded during the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Employee Stock Based Compensation

Employee Stock Based Compensation

 

The FASB issued SFAS No.123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment , which was superseded by ASC 718-10. ASC 718-10 provides investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information, by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements, including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As of June 30, 2015 the Company has not implemented an employee stock based compensation plan.

Non-Employee Stock Based Compensation

Non-Employee Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in EITF 96-18,  Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services , which was superseded by ASC 505-50.  The Company issues compensatory shares for services including, but not limited to, executive, board of directors, business consulting, corporate advisory, accounting, research, archeological, operations, strategic planning, corporate communications, financial, legal and administrative consulting services.  

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The process of preparing condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.  Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the condensed financial statements.  Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

Convertible Notes Payable

Convertible Notes Payable

 

The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. ASC 815 provides for an exception to this rule when convertible notes, as host instruments, are deemed to be conventional, as defined by ASC 815-40.

 

The Company accounts for convertible notes deemed conventional and conversion options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes which qualify as equity under ASC 815, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, which provides guidance on accounting for convertible securities with beneficial conversion features. Accordingly, the Company records, as a discount to convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion options based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt.  

 

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.  Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. 

Convertible Notes Payable at Fair Value

 

Convertible Notes Payable at Fair Value

 

The Company elected to account for this hybrid contract under the guidance of ASC 815-15-25-4.  This guidance allows an entity that initially recognizes a hybrid financial instrument that under paragraph  815-15-25-1 would be required to be separated into a host contract and a derivative instrument may irrevocably elect to initially and subsequently measure that hybrid financial instrument in its entirety at fair value (with changes in fair value recognized in earnings).

 

The fair value election is also available when a previously recognized financial instrument subject to a re-measurement event and the separate recognition of an embedded derivative. The fair value election may be made instrument by instrument. For purposes of this paragraph, a re-measurement event (new basis event) is an event identified in generally accepted accounting principles, other than the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment, that requires a financial instrument to be re-measured to its fair value at the time of the event but does not require that instrument to be reported at fair value on a continuous basis with the change in fair value recognized in earnings. Examples of re-measurement events are business combinations and significant modifications of debt as defined in Subtopic 470-50.
